Usually I make tomato raw garlic chutney for roti and paratha. Recently my sister Radha was telling me about this tomato garlic chutney without onion (Thakkali poondu chutney in Tamil) for idli, dosa. I found it so easy and tried it for our breakfast yesterday. It came out really well and tasted great with dosa. I am sure it tastes the best with hot idli when drizzled with a tsp of gingely oil. Its a very simple chutney recipe with 3 basic ingredients tomato, garlic and red chilli powder. But one thing we should remember is to add the right quantity of tomato and garlic else chutney tastes bitter or smells pungent. So I always add a pinch of tamarind to balance it. Friends, do try this chutney and enjoy with idli, dosa. It stays good for a week when refrigerated. So you can make in bulk quantity. I hope it stays good for one day travel as this chutney is without onion. As summer vacation is started, you must be travelling to places with packed food. You can try this chutney, pack in an air tight box to avoid oil leakage, use a clean spoon and use it for a day or two. Ok lets see how to make this easy, yummy tomato garlic chutney for idli, dosa with step by step pictures.
